TIME WILL TELL

TIME WILL TELL

If things were to change

within a short or long space,

positively or negatively.

When real friends turn foes

and foes become friends,

Time will tell.

When expectations will come to pass,

and our missions and visions become accomplished.

And our dreams and goals achieved,

without regrets and mistakes,

Time will tell.

When by chance, presently or later,

powerful person becomes weak

and the weak become strong.

When the high ranked elite turns dummy and unfocused,

and the retarded turns wise.

While the unskilled seems skilled,

Time will tell.

If possibly you arrive successfully at your apex or not,

through strife or thrive,

daunted or undaunted. 

And either you succeed or not,

Time will tell. 

To report all deeds

Good or bad, 

Current or stale,

Odd or usual,

Either for better or worse

For attraction or avoidance

Time will tell. 

When minute passes by 

for the purpose of healing,

discovery and encouragement,

creating and bringing back,

bitter and sweet memories,

as a reward of how it's been used, 

Time will tell. 

When peradventure you cherished every moment of life,

as a limited resource

that expires everyday, 

with high respect,

and dignity,

to understand its value through nature.

When you were diligent and  focused,

with determination or not, 

Time will tell.
